Who is Swim Coach Advantage for?

If you are any of the following, then the Swim Coach Advantage program is specifically designed for you.

You are:

A swim coach who is ready to commit to building your dream swim team. You want to fast track your knowledge to ensure success!

Willing to change how you’ve been doing things. You know your coaching can be better if someone would just show you how!

Able to accept guidance and advice from people who have conquered the problems you’re facing.

A swim coach in a new program who wants to shortcut the pain and frustration that comes from building a squad program or swim club from the ground up.

An experienced swim coach who is looking for new ideas and professional support to re-energize your coaching.

Excited about the opportunity to become the go-to swim coach in your area.

A swim coach who is isolated from other coaches and would like on-going support.

A relatively new swim coach who is in their first five years of swim coaching and would like ideas on how to fast-track your coaching, or

The Head Coach of a program who would like some assistance to develop your junior and age group coaches more quickly.

You don’t have to do this alone anymore

Don’t spend another night lying in bed awake, wondering how you’ll ever take your swim team to the next level. Wondering when you’ll finally feel like you “made it” or if you’ll ever be taken seriously… not only in the aquatic industry but by friends, family, and the community.

We give you the missing pieces to help you succeed.

Never before have we shared the level of information that you’ll receive inside Swim Coach Advantage. It’s not available in an information product or even a five-day live conference. In fact, it’s not available outside of Swim Coach Advantage. This is the number one place you’ll find ‘how to’ information related to running all facets of being a successful swim coach.

Swim Coach Advantage is an exclusive membership based program that provides swim coaches from around the world with a central platform to grow and develop their skills and knowledge to provide their swimmers with the best coaching possible.

Rohan was my coach for 6 years. His knowledge and passion for swimming led our team to being one of the best in country.

What really sets Rohan apart from the rest is his ability to connect and inspire the individual athlete.

Swim Coach Advantage vs Coaching Conferences

The best professional development opportunity available!

One of the most popular ways for Swim Coaches to increase their knowledge base and build their network is to attend a coaching conference.

A simple 3-day conference can cost you around US$600 or more, and while you can learn a lot whilst there, without the constant contact and reinforcement, it can be easy to forget what you learnt in no time at all.

We offer much more year-round value than what you will receive at a conference and for only a fraction of the price.

The Swim Coach Advantage membership program costs just AUD$397 for 12 months. That's less than $35 per month!

Swim Coach Advantage is also a great option for swimming clubs and swim teams to provide professional development support to their coaches. For a small annual cost, clubs can provide their coaches with effective support and current information to help them improve all-year-round.

The Benefits of Ongoing Education & Development

The key benefits of participating in an ongoing education and development program include:

Keeping up with industry changes – The aquatic industry is constantly changing and it is important for coaches not to be left behind.

Stay ahead of competitors – Coaching is about continually growing and developing. If you want to stay ahead of your competitors, you must keep learning. If you stand still with your learning, they will pass you very quickly.

More easy recognition of skill gaps in your swimmers – By receiving regular reminders about technique and skills, you will automatically draw upon these as part of your coaching. Your swimmers will benefit greatly from this.

Maintaining and building knowledge and skill – While one-off training or Conferences may be good for some, it’s important that you put in place a mechanism to continually develop your skills. To retain knowledge, constant reminders and practicing the skills regularly provide you with a great advantage.

Ongoing incentive and encouragement to learn – If Club’s offer this training to their coaches on an on-going basis, coaches will have much more incentive to learn, participate in the program and put their new skills into practice.

Increased job satisfaction levels – Through a continued investment in the program, coaches will have a much higher sense of satisfaction which will improve their motivation towards their work.

Provide internal and external promotion opportunities – With on-going training, coaches become more eligible for internal and external promotions.

There are also regular live online sessions with expert Swim Coaches and support staff that will add additional content and value to the program over time.

Your Swim Coach Advantage membership is a resource for you to access relevant information as required. Whilst we will be focusing on specific themes throughout the year, we encourage you to access those resources that are most relevant to your needs at any given point in time.

When will the live sessions be held?

As we have Swim Coaches from all around the world in the Swim Coach Advantage membership program, we understand there will never be the "perfect time" for everyone to attend our live sessions. For that reason, we will be varying the times for each live session and we will be communicating the session times with you via the membership area, email and our private Facebook community.

What if I can't attend the live sessions?

Don't worry if you can't attend the live sessions, as we have a special section within our membership area where you can access all the replays.

As a new member you can also dig back through the archives of our live sessions to catch up on those topics that are most important to you.

Can I share the membership login details with another Swim Coach in my team?

No. This is a single person access membership in the same way that if you signed up for a conference that you can't just bring along a friend for free.

If you would like to gain access for several members within your Swim Club, then contact us to discuss our group purchase discount option.
